A mapping system uses aerial photographs to correct geocode data for
street addresses. After entering an address, a street map is displayed
along with an aerial photo, both of which indicate the street address
location based on standard algorithms. The indicator on the aerial map
can be moved to accurately align with the location of the entered street
address, which corrects the geocode data, allowing further geographical
analysis to be performed using the corrected geocode data. The corrected
geocode data can be used to more accurately determine distances from the
property at the street address to natural hazards such as, coastlines,
earthquake faults and flood zones.
